This came courtesy of a work colleague shortly after
my arrival:
ONLY IN AMERICA:
1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster
than an ambulance.
2. Only in America......are there handicap parking
places in front of a skating rink.
3. Only in America......do drugstores make the sick
walk all the way to the back of
the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes
at the front.
4. Only in America......do people order double
cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
5. Only in
America......do banks leave both doors open
and then chain the pens to the counters.
6. Only in
America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our
useless junk in the garage.
7. Only in
America......do we use answering machines to
screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to
talk
to in the first place.
8. Only in
America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
9. Only in
America......do we use the word 'politics' to
describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
10. Only in America......do they
have drive-up ATM machines with
Braille lettering.
